WordPerfect Suite 2000, Service Pack 2 ============================= 0. Contents ============================= 1. Introduction (what it is) 2. Process (how to install) 3. Examples (other people's experiences) 4. Corel Release Notes 5. Corel Introduction ============================= 0.1 Notes ============================= 1. Version Number: 3. 2. This FAQ is composed using 10 point Courier. Some items may have been laid out to form columns. If you find such items in apparent disarray, please adjust your font settings. 3. This FAQ includes some examples illustrating experience we have gained from other people's experience installing the Service Pack. If you feel that you have an insight to add to this, please contact the editor (see the posting source). ============================= 0.2 Contributors ============================= Erik Wogstad, Lance Leonard, ============================= 0.3 Attachments ============================= A self-extracting Zip file is attached to this message. It's name is "shlwp9en.exe", and, when run, it will offer to place the file shlwp9en.dll into c:\Temp. This file actually belongs in c:\windows (for win95 and win98 users) or c:\winnt (for Windows NT 4 users). ============================= 1. Introduction ============================= The US English version of WordPerfect Office Suite 2000 (WPO2K) SP2 is again available on the Corel FTP site. The files are named WP9SP2.exe (application updates) and WP9SP2_2.exe (documentation updates) and are available at both of the following locations: ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/WordPerfect/wpwin/9/ ftp://ftp2.corel.com/pub/WordPerfect/wpwin/9/ It will also be available in the next few days from the support downloads website at: http://www.corel.com/support/ftpsite/pub/ wordperfect/wpwin/office2000/index.htm (the URL above is one line only. No extra spaces are implied by the break - just paste the two parts together) There are two files to download: WP9SP2.EXE 66,172,572 bytes WP9SP2_2.EXE 15,555,872 bytes Both files are dated 12/22/1999. ============================= 2. Process ============================= 1. If you have Paradox Runtime (9.00.421) please do nothing. Neither SP1 nor SP2 for WPO2K concern you. 2. At this time there are no individual patches or Service Packs for any products in the WPO2K package. Service Packs are for the whole Suite, and will simply not upgrade parts that are not present. 3. If you have Paradox 9.00.367 or 9.00.368 (Paradox Standalone, Developer's Edition, or WPO2K Pro) you must upgrade that installation to 9.00.441, using WPO2K SP1 before attempting to use SP2. 4. If you have WPO2K installed, have applied SP1, and subsequently altered, replaced, or regressed any of the components, you must replace or restore those components. One popular alteration is the replacement of POP90.DLL from SP1 by the version from the original distribution. You may find that the easiest way to do this is to uninstall WPO2K completely and re-install it from scratch. 5. If you have complied with the instructions in 1-4 above, you should be in a position to install WPO2K SP2. Reboot your machine, close all Corel applications that may automatically start in your configuration, and follow the instructions in the release notes (section 4 below). Please note that the above is based on _current_ knowledge. While it is unlikely that any points here will "go away", there may be extra items to add. If such come to light, we will attempt to codify them and add them here. Corel has indicated publicly that once WPO2K SP2 is released work will resume on production of Paradox Runtime SP2 (called that to show coincidence with the level of the ordinary package. If you are in any doubt about what to do in order to install SP2, please: a. proceed with the download b. re-read this FAQ c. _then_ ask questions on the NewsGroups. ============================= 3. Examples ... ============================= This section will be filled with anecdotal reports of experiences that may seem relevant to users. Please do not take them as examples of the "Ultimate Truth", but of ways in which other users have dealt with matters. ============================= 3a. Early Report of Experience ============================= One user has already reported success in installing the new WPO2K SP2 over the "old" version: "Had already installed original SP2 a few weeks ago. Downloaded new one (which is some 20M or so larger!) and installed straight over the top of the original service pack 2. It will tell you the SP2 is already installed and ask if you wish to continue (Yes!). No problem - works like a dream - and the Word 97/2000 filters are back!" ============================= 3b. Problems with Presence of Suite 8 ============================= Following reports from users installing this patch onto systems that also have part of, or all of, the Word Perfect 8 Suite, including systems that just have Paradox 8, indicate that the presence of such systems may cause the install to become confused. This is a sequence recommended as workable by several users: 1. Completely un-install WP Suite (v8, which did not include Paradox). This did not disturb the various versions of Pdox installed on the PC (Pdx7, Pdx 7 Runtime, Pdx8). Note: Step 1 may apparently be replaced by a copy of the version 8 files off to another machine and their subsequent replacement when the install is over. 2. Install Pdx9 SP1. 3. Install Pdx9 SP2 (remember to install both .exe files; one for the WP applications, one for the help files). Pdx9 now correctly shows version number 9.00.512. 4. Re-install WP Suite 8. 5. Re-install patches for WP Suite 8. 6. After everything is re-installed, you may receive the error message "Unable to Load Language Resource" whenever right-clicking on objects (throughout Windows). The culprit is a missing DLL in the Windows folder: SHLWP9EN.DLL This file is contained in the self-extracting Zip file attached to this posting. ============================= 4. Release Notes ============================= These notes are those published on the Corel Web Site. I have reformatted them to remain within the width constraints of email, and also moved the Paradox section to the top, as this is the Paradox FAQ. No other changes have been made.
